New exhibit at OH WOW! opens
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) – If you're looking for something to do on Easter break with the kids, head downtown to OH WOW! The new second floor and exhibit are now open. 'Yeah, we had first robotics with our friends from Austintown here a couple of weeks ago when we opened the floor. So they were in the new technology hub, which also has our robot, Pepper. and our goal is to engage with the community, and really try to bring in some area robotics teams, maybe some drone teams, so they can start to engage with some of those younger learners and inspire the next generation of robotics teams here in the Mahoning Valley,' Executive Director Katie Detoro said. A tour from West Branch took part on Thursday in the new maze and explored the technology center. DeToro says robotics clubs from local schools are using the facility. OH WOW! is celebrating its 14th birthday in early May. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Local students get sneak peek at new Oh Wow! exhibit
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) – Oh Wow! in downtown Youngstown is getting ready to open its new floor. On Tuesday, those at the museum tested out a new exhibit on some local students. A group from the Trumbull Career & Technical Center tried out the new 'America Makes 3D Printing Lab.' The students got to use 10 entry-level printers and then give feedback on their experience. The new exhibit opens to the public on April 16 and is just one of three new spaces to make its debut. 'That's what's wonderful about this new floor. It's going to give us more capacity to meet some of those older age demographics and hopefully get them excited about future careers that exist right here in the Mahoning Valley,' said Oh Wow! Executive Director Katie Detoro. Oh Wow! is also holding an adults-only event this Friday called Nerdy Night Out. There will be live music, tabletop games, a cash bar and food.
